    On another thread it was suggested to me that the Add On/extension for VS Community might make things easier.

    I tried downloading a couple of versions but it says it cannot find a version of VS that is acceptable.

    Is there perhaps another download I missed ?

    I'm using the newest version of Community and I need to use Qt 4.8.1

    Many thanks.

      Hi
      please see @Chris-Kawa post

      It is possible but not sure the newest is supported yet.

      also, to use older Qt, you must likely have to compile it yourself since the pre-compiled
      downloadable packs are not available for old qt and newest compilers.

      please see this

        You're out of luck. VS2015 has removed the support for add-ins.
        The add-in needs to be ported to a VS extension for VS2015 and the word is it's not gonna be soon.
        It's also unlikely that a new extension would support Qt4.
        There's an unofficial extension which is a port of the add-in called Qt5Package, but, as the name suggests, it only supports Qt5.

        So your options are:

        • update to Qt5 and use the unofficial extension for now
        • downgrade to VS2013 and use add-in 1.1.11, which was the last one still supporting Qt4.
